Dell just announced the Latitude 9330. It's the latest from the company's business lineup and the first 9000 series laptop from Dell with a 13-inch display. The convertible 2-in-1 runs on a 12th Gen Intel Core CPU (up to i7 vPro) paired with either Intel Iris Xe or integrated graphics. Dell hasn't shared pricing details about the Latitude 9330 yet, but the device should ship in June 2022.
The Latitude 9330 includes several features that business users have come to expect from the 9000-series, including Dell Optimizer, SafeShutter, and Wi-Fi 6E. Our Dell Latitude 9000 series vs. 7000 vs. 5000 vs. 3000 covers these features in more depth and outlines the purpose of the Latitude lineup.
In what Dell calls a world first, the Latitude 9330 has a collaboration touchpad with buttons for controlling meetings. Buttons for controlling audio, video, and screen sharing within Zoom meetings appear when a meeting is active. The icons disappear and are disabled once a meeting ends. The laptop also has an FHD camera and neural-noise cancellation, which should help in meetings.
Dell also states that the Latitude 9330 is the first laptop to support a simultaneous multi-network connection.
